Ulysse Nardin Marine Annual Chronograph Steel Black Dial 40mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 40 mm case suggests

Ulysse Nardin Marine Annual Chronograph Steel Black Dial 40mm measures 43.4 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.08 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 83% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 95% of the 19 Ulysse Nardin watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 58 mm (2.28 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.4 mm (1.71 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
